Description

A RasterStyle element defines a style for a raster image.

Context

Table 1 lists the elements that can contain, or be contained by, a RasterStyle element.

Table 1. Context
Contained by	Element	Contains
NamedStyle or CompositeStyle	RasterStyle	(empty)

Attributes

Table 2 lists the attributes of a RasterStyle element.

Table 2. Attributes
Attribute	Description
id	A unique identifier for the element.
name	A descriptive name for the element.
contrast	A floating-point value from 0 to 1 specifying the contrast of the image. A value of 0 means that the image has minimum contrast. A value of 1 means that the image has maximum contrast. A value of 0.5 means that the image has 50% contrast. The `contrast` attribute is optional. The default value is 0.5.
brightness	A floating-point value from 0 to 1 specifying the brightness of the image. Brightness is a measure of the lightness or darkness of the image. A value of 0 means that the image has minimum brightness. A value of 1 means that the image has maximum brightness. A value of 0.5 means that the image has 50% brightness. The `brightness` attribute is optional. The default value is 0.5.
opacity	A floating-point value from 0 to 1 specifying the opacity of the image. A value of 0 means that the image is totally transparent. A value of 1 means that the image is totally opaque. A value of 0.5 means that the image is 50% translucent. The `opacity` attribute is optional. The default value is 1.
grayscale	A boolean value (`true` or `false`) specifying whether the image should be displayed using only shades of gray, ranging from white to black. The `grayscale` attribute is optional. The default value is `false`.
transparent	A boolean value (`true` or `false`) specifying whether the color identified by `transparent-color` should be displayed with an `opacity` of 0 (transparent). The `transparent` attribute is optional. The default value is `false`.
transparent-color	A string value specifying the color to be displayed with an `opacity` of 0 if `transparent` is set to `true`. The value can be any valid CSS color. (See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1#color-units.) The default color is black.
